I want to paint the world with lively colors, full of hope and understanding.I want to brush away all conflicts, global warming, sadness and unkindnessI want to inspire confidence, trust, freedom and creativityI want to paint all the unseen things so that the rest of the world can enjoy their beautyI want to brush away the general indifference and unconsciousnessI want to surprise the world and shake it for as long as it’s needed.

I want to paint what I see and how I see it while I travel through life.

The pics on this post are part of the photos I’m taking for my photography course (the one I started two weeks ago). The set I’m presenting here were taken at the Parque Rodo, a very popular park located on the shore of Rio de la Plata in Montevideo. This park was built around 1900 and its main attraction is its permanent fair.Through my pictures I’m trying to show a different perspective of the park, the things that usually go unnoticed… but to me they constitute a very important factor of the magic surrounding the park.I’m experimenting as a photographer, I’m having fun, learning from others while making my own rules… the pictures may not be amazing but they are a true reflection of how I see things…

This is my exploring journey, my opportunity to leave my ego behind so I can fully enjoy the experience of unveiling the world from a different perspective.

All pictures were taken with a wide angle lens fixed at 18mm, which for me was (and still is) a big challenge, as I love to use my macro and zoom lenses. Using this lens forced me to come really close to my subjects and therefore become more attentive of what I really wanted to express through the picture.

The dreaming frogs of the park. Which usually go unnoticed...

Bringing life to a stone dog...

When you really look you will see that everything is alive...

Stone feet... created to stand for eternity

A picture of a picture... and much more.
